Am I losin' Lynyrd Skynyrd. It's like this song was about me and my buddy Sam when we were younger. The only difference is that we didn't fall out over money it was over a girl... and I married her three years later. We talk now (12 years later) if we run in to each other but that's about it.
Here is the link if you have never heard it.

@lp: wow, as a skynyrd fan, i have to say ive never heard the song, and i like it. it has a very 60s/early 70s sound, its like a 60s rock with a 70s southern rock, very tasty.
Dude I'v been to too many funerals so anything played at those and for some reason everytime I hear Tuesday's Gone it just makes me feel really right, and then there's that feeling where you just like feel like everything is okay and everything is right and whenver you see or hear it you want to break down adn cry and just freak out, for me everytime I see the cover of the album Boston by Boston it just makes me want to stare forever into it and it gives me chills

Fields of Gold by Sting or Eva Cassidy, the song always just makes me think of the opportunities I've passed up, the people I don't see any more and how much I will miss them when I can't see them at all.
There, you see, the Afro does have a soul after all!
I have another one;
Floods by Pantera.
The last 46 seconds of the song have amazing sounding guitar, like it's really emotional and sad sounding but it's so awesome

quite amazing that it's so different for each person. I think it has alot to do with where you were and what was going on in your life when you heard these songs. it's all so very personal, and yet there are some universal tear jerkers and my favorite would be "Danny Boy".
On the other hand if I never hear "Amazing Grace" again in my lifetime it would be just fine by me!
You're right, Phip, Danny Boy gets me every time! Angie by the Rolling Stones is another, along with Videotape by Radiohead-Yorke's voice, the piano, and even the drums, which have a kind of "raindrops-on-a-funeral-day" feel.
